I officially signed up for the Sea Wheeze today. My husband booked us a hotel in downtown Vancouver so all that's left for me to do is renew my passport and keep training.
Lots of stores have been posting about the marathon on their Facebook pages and some questions have popped up on the Lulu FB page about it:
When asked about pace and walkers:
Great questions. This race is all about enjoying our beautiful city of Vancouver! Walkers are more than welcome to join us on the course and share in the experience. Right now, we don't have an exact time that the course will be closed, so check back with us later to confirm. Thanks,

When asked about a medal at the end (hoping it's a big lulu symbol myself) and when we get the technical gear that is part of the registration price:
There will be a very nice surprise for all of our runners upon completion. But what it is? My lips are sealed! The piece of awesome run tech gear you'll receive will be sent out before the race. This way you can train in it! If I hear anymore specifics, I'll let you know.

FWIW, my guess is that the piece is probably shorts for women given that we have to give a bottoms size. It only goes up to women's size 10 which is where many of the women's run shorts stop. However, quite a few of the women's run crops stop at a 10, too, so it could be them. The fact that it's hot and humid in Vancouver in August makes me think it's shorts, though.
